an email address), from its users. In addition, this

use this information to do internal research on our
users' demographics, interests, and behavior to
better understand, protect and serve users in

our users' personal information to anyone for any
reason if the user has indicated a desire for us to

or distribute personal information (such as their
email address or on line application), that
information can be collected and used by others.
This may result in unsolicited messages from third
parties for which Bearstaff.com is not responsible.

imposters. Bearstaff.com is not sending these
fraudulent emails. If you receive an email or pop-up
window requesting that you provide your personal
